Assorted Counts and Casualties

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Lehr Folds to Taylor's Aggression

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Esther Taylor raised to 8,000 from an early position and Keith Lehr then potted to 27,000 with 31,500 behind. Taylor quickly piled in a tower of T-5,000 chips and that sent Lehr into the tank. He took off the glasses and glanced at his cards while Taylor jokingly flashed her four cards very quickly.

"This is my blind spot, I can't see," Lehr mentioned and Taylor grinned back "that's why I show them to you" (the cards were not visible by any means).

Ultimately, Lehr folded double-suited kings and Taylor exposed he {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}.

Kruk Among the Big Stacks

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Christopher Kruk was one of several dozen late entrants and has already been able to run up a big stack in the opening stages of the day. He now sits on nearly seven times the starting stack while James Crowshaw and Joseph Leung on his former table have vanished.

Haraldstad Hammering Away Early

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The seat to the left of Joachim Haraldstad has been a one-way ticket to the rail so far today.

Peter Levine had replaced Frank Kassela in that seat with Haralstad and his tablemates sharing the details of Kassela's elimination.

Haraldstad held middle set with {j-}{j-}{x-}{x-} on a {q-}{j-}{6-} flop while Kassela held {a-}{a-}{q-}{6-} and over 400,000 chips ended up in the middle with Haraldstad's set holding to eliminate Kassela.

Shortly after that, Levine found all of his roughly 25,000 chips in the middle preflop against Haraldstad.

Peter Levine: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Joachim Haraldstad: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, with Haraldstad making a straight on the river to eliminate Levine and add another chunk to the biggest stack in the room.

Le Down to Start the day

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Tommy Le
Tommy Le

Defending Champion Tommy Le has had a slow start to the day, including dropping a recent pot.

After Davidi Kitai limped in early position, Le completed his small blind, and then Yarin Cohen raised to 8,500 from the big blind.

Both his opponents called and the trio saw a flop of {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{9-Clubs}. Le checked to Cohen who continued for 12,500. Kitai folded, but the defending champion called.

On the {6-Diamonds}, he checked again and Cohen sized up to 29,000. Le didn't take long to fold and cede the pot to his opponent as his stack took another hit to start the day.

Unusual Two Pair for Kyriakides

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Joining the action on the {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop, Jarrett Hlavaty bet 8,000 on the button when checked to. Miltiadis Kyriakides in an early position and the Cypriot called. The {8-Clubs} turn brought another check-call worth 20,000 by Kariakides and the {9-Spades} on the river was checked.

Hlavaty checked behind and Kyriakides announced two pair while rolling over the {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for quad sevens. Some laughter followed as David Cabrera joked "we gotta stop talking about football, I think we are annoying them."

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Some Early Chips For Shak

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Dan Shak limped in early position, as did Bogdan Capitan in middle position. Todd Ivens checked his big blind and the trio went to a flop of {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}.

Ivens checked to Shak who bet 6,000. Capitan called and Ivens folded.

On the {q-Hearts} turn, Shak sized up to 15,000 and after some brief contemplation, Capitan folded to send a small pot to Shak.
